The Wasteland! Poem by Shahzia Batool

The Wasteland!

Rating: 1.9


these are fruits of aimless life
joyless days and sleepless nights

I live, like a wingless bird,
useless life in lawless world

t' strictly fall in loveless passion
'tis still new trend of fashion

like screaming silence here n there
hopelessness is everywhere...

lo! the thought in thoughtless silence
feel the pain in painless violence

that is too much i'm bearing
may God save me from this suffering...

these are fruits of aimless life -some fruits are for food but all for seeding hope, green land joyless days and sleepless night -you can change to sleep of joy in a day and wake the dream at night I live, like a wingless bird, -Penguin has wings but cant fly, so life is to accept who we are useless life in lawless world -there's no world without law, because life follow the nature law t' strictly fall in loveless passion 'tis still new trend of fashion -ask your soul to find which trend you like to follow like screaming silence here n there hopelessness is everywhere... -but dont deny that hopeful also many out there lo! the thought in thoughtless silence feel the pain in painless violence -if it painless violence turn pain, stop the violence anyhow that is too much i'm bearing may God save me from this suffering... -Only God will deliver your soul to best living, ask Him Nice heart speaking Shahzia_Unwritten Soul
